Welcome to Failing Loudly — a podcast where weakness isn't something to hide, but something to boast about.
Each episode is an honest, grace-filled conversation about our shortcomings, struggles, and the places we feel the most inadequate. Why? Because it's in those very places that God's power meets us (2 Corinthians 12:9).
My hope is that as you hear how God meets us in our mess, you'll be encouraged to do the same and move forward in the strength that only Jesus provides.
Let's stop hiding and start Failing Loudly.
New episodes every other week.
In this final episode of the year, Brandon and I take time to reflect on what God has done through Failing Loudly — not just in the lives of listeners, but in our own hearts and home.
We celebrate the stories we've heard from you — the conversations sparked, the healing begun, and the courage found in simply telling the truth. We also share vulnerably about how this podcast has changed us: the radical shifts in our marriage, the refinement of our character, and the quiet healing from a sneaky victim mentality we didn't realize we were carrying.
This year stretched our trust in the Lord in ways we didn't expect — and strengthened our real-life, one-on-one conversations in ways we're deeply grateful for. We talk about what obedience has required, what it has produced, and how just saying "yes" has led to growth we couldn't have planned.
We also give you a glimpse into what's ahead — the heart, vision, and plans for the coming year of Failing Loudly.
Thank you for being part of this story. We can't wait to keep walking it with you.
We'd love to hear from you at quiteathomecoach@gmail.com!

Healing, Truth-Telling, and The God Who Redeems | Amber Moran
Some stories feel too heavy to say out loud…
but those are often the very places God wants to bring healing.
This week, I sit down with pastor and author Amber Moran, who bravely shares her story of abortion, the shame that followed, and the way Jesus met her with compassion instead of condemnation.
We talk about the power of telling the truth, how God restores our identity when shame tries to silence us, and how He uses our stories — even the painful ones — for His purpose.
If you're carrying something you think disqualifies you, this episode is a reminder:
your past doesn't get the final word — God does.

Cultural Integrity: Building a Church Culture Worth Trusting
Is the culture your church promotes the culture your team experiences?
This week, Brandon and I talk about cultural integrity — making sure what people feel on Sunday morning matches what staff and volunteers feel on Monday afternoon.
We talk about:
• How to spot the symptoms of a culture that may lack consistency
• Practical steps to course-correct and rebuild trust
• What it looks like when your ministry's values are truly felt at every level
This conversation is for every leader who wants the lived experience of their team to match the message they present to the world.

When Obedience Feels Like Failure | Brittanica Womelsdorf
What do you do when God asks you to lay down something you love — something you thought you were called to build?
In this episode, I sit down with Brittanica Womelsdorf as she shares her story of God asking her and her husband to close the church they planted in the city they love. It’s a story of obedience that didn’t look like success, and of walking through grief, hopelessness, and surrender.
But what looked like an ending was really the beginning of something new. Through their “yes” in the midst of heartbreak, God is weaving a story of redemption that’s still unfolding.
If you’ve ever felt like following God led you straight into loss or disappointment, this conversation will remind you — nothing surrendered to Him is ever wasted.

Money, Mindset, and Missional Living | Phil McMillan
Money touches everything — it’s tied to our hearts, our obedience, and even our view of God.
In this episode, I sit down with Phil McMillan — former financial advisor, executive pastor, and now part of Convoy of Hope’s work with partnering churches — to talk about the roots of our money mindsets. We share our own struggles with scarcity thinking and how God has led him toward freedom and missional living.
Phil unpacks the shifts that make financial tools actually sustainable, and we dive into the role money played in the church in Acts. More than anything, Phil challenges us to reflect on this question: when it comes to our resources, who is God asking you to become?
If you’ve ever wrestled with fear, guilt, or striving around money, this conversation will invite you into a new way of operating — one rooted in God’s abundance.

The Power of Storytelling | Lisa Diaz
In this conversation, I sit down with Lisa Diaz to talk about the power of storytelling and how God uses both the beautiful and the broken parts of our journeys to reveal His glory.
Lisa shares her experience growing up as a missionary kid in Spain, how God gave her a passion for film, and her work creating films that empower ministries to connect more deeply with the stories they tell.
We talk about life-changing experiences with some of the ministries she has partnered with over the years, and she also opens up about a season that felt like failure — and how God used that weakness to refine and strengthen her.

From Not Enough to Fully Satisfied | Brandon and Jourdan Lunsford
In this episode, Brandon and I talk about the sneaky lie that whispers you don’t have enough — and how it shapes our personal lives, our obedience to God, and even the decisions we see in the Church.
We share how we’ve wrestled with this “not enough” mindset, and what it practically looks like to find true satisfaction in the Lord instead of chasing it in people, performance, or possessions. We also unpack what it means to hunger and thirst for righteousness, and how changing the inputs of our lives actually shifts our appetites.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in striving, weighed down by fear of lack, or restless for more, this conversation will remind you: in Him, you are fully satisfied.

The Cost of Obedience & Meeting God in the Middle | Jess Lindstrom
In this episode, I’m joined by Jess Lindstrom for a raw conversation about what it really looks like to obey God when it costs you something. Jess shares the steps of faith the Lord has called her into — from her business, to selling her family’s dream home in pursuit of a simpler life, to learning to recognize His voice in stillness like never before.
We talk about the messy middle of obedience — where the outcome isn’t clear, the sacrifice feels real, and yet God’s presence meets us in powerful ways.
If you’ve ever wondered if the risk of saying “yes” is worth it, Jess’s story will remind you that God is found most intimately in the very places we’d rather avoid.

When Self-Awareness Isn’t Enough — Jourdan's Breakthrough Story | Brandon and Jourdan Lunsford
In this episode, Brandon and I have a vulnerable conversation about the deeper layers of my emotional and spiritual healing journey. I share what actually led to breakthrough — and how self-awareness was only the beginning.
For years, I believed I wasn’t good enough. That deep-rooted lie showed up as perfectionism, people-pleasing, performance-based faith, and a constant need to earn the approval of others — especially my leaders. I didn’t realize how much I had projected their affirmation or disappointment onto God.
If you’ve ever disqualified yourself because of how small you feel…
If you’ve ever wrestled with self-doubt or shame…
If you’ve ever wondered why knowing the truth doesn’t bring the freedom you're expecting…
This one’s for you.

From Struggle to Strength - Building a Thriving Marriage | Kimberly Thatcher
In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Kimberly Thatcher — a marriage coach with a powerful story to share. She and her husband Robert walked through over a decade of struggle in their marriage, and she opens up about what those years looked like, what finally shifted, and how God brought healing and hope where things once felt stuck.
We also talk about what’s keeping their marriage strong today, and why surrounding yourself with people who see the best in you — and love you enough to call you out — is essential for growth.
Whether you’re married, single, or somewhere in between, this episode is full of wisdom, honesty, and hope for real, lasting transformation.
